Its a one off pfispeed manifold. my new one is even nicer divided housing twin tial 44s.... like i said ill post pics of my new one... the hard part of foward facing manifold is the down pipe. like in an ef you dont have much room behind the bumper for the compressor housing so its tight space wise

yeah.i had a top mount made for mine and practically had the core support cut out.i have always loved the front mount look so i think im gonna attempt it.the front mount manifolds out on the market are based on the eg/ek chassis so i doubt they will fit.

i think the front mount turbo manifold is the only one that you might actually not have to mod anything/much as compared to nearly everything else on the market, unless the manifold was made specifically to fit in an ef with whatever specific turbo.

I've heard of people using off the shelf manifolds but have not seen one actually installed...i know what you mean B18c1.i lost count of how many times my fabricator dropped the f-bomb while doing my top mount (he never cussed prior to that).didn't help when i decided to change turbos when the manifold was 95% done either..lol looking forward to those pics!

I have no good recent pics. The following picture is from when it was still in the works. Its missing the wastegate, downpipe, and much more.

Its a simple setup.

LS/Vtec
AEBS sleeves
Stock bore
Manley Turbo Tuff Rods
CP pistons
B16 head
B16 cams (not for much longer)
Supertech Valve Springs & Retainers
Ferrea Valves
Custom intake manifold
Custom turbo manifold
Air to water
Q45 throttle body
Precision 6765 (debating a switch)

The last pull on the dyno was at 36psi making 778. It has since been turned up to 40+ psi

Over the winter i think the precision unit is going, as well as the stock cams. I also need to do something with the transmission and axles. Im still on a stock gear set and axles. I don't want to turn the power down, and every outing with the car i have been breaking both constantly.
